Reborn

Reborn here now without baggage
A soul so free to act on whim 
A path so new my eyes salvage
The end, the edge, my self’s give in 

Horrid past, unwanted future
Reborn here now without baggage 
Looming cold and distant creatures 
Sold body to prying lament

Closed all doors so none will turn page
From behind or beyond, not woe
Reborn here now without baggage
Men revel in glory of foes

Falling out forgotten forever
Losing clout from beloved marriage 
No more a thought nor a torment 
Reborn here now without baggage
